Sometimes animals fight back.
Hogs are smart animals. Many studies show pigs to individualy be smarter than dogs.
One guy I know shot a 150lb boar and when he was guttin it another charged him from behind and he ended up with about a 6 inch gash on the back of one leg, and another long gash on the fore arm, before the hog charged another guy with him and was put down with a powder burn shot between the eyes. (It was about 225 lbs).
Dang. Please tell me that the responsible animal was hunted down and exterminated?
If someone is out trying to kill something for recreation and it gets lucky and defends itself against someone with the upper hand and a firearm... Well that is a skilled animal.
I am not a PETA member. I believe in the wholesale slaughter of animals so I may enjoy thier flesh. But it is only fair that they occasionaly kill one of us even when the odds are stacked against them.
It would seem quite childish to plan to go out and kill things recreationaly you don't even need to kill, and then acting like the animal did something wrong if it kills you or one of its kind comes to its aid and inflicts injuries or death upon you.
You should do all you can to prevent its success against you or anyone you are with, but if it gets lucky, you did sign up for that game.
It is not even displaying offensive aggression like all hunters regularly do (which of course we as people really feel trangressed if an animal ever goes on the offensive.)
I won't place a double standard on nature. We regularly expect to defend ourself against animals, and take it a step further and enjoy hunting them.
I expect some animals to do the same.
Quite frankly there is several billion people in the world, and only thousands or millions of most animals. So we seem to be a bit out of balance.
